spitting is bad ! who said ? ...

 For Masai Tribesmen of Tanzania spitting is reverence and good will. Newborn are spat upon by those who wish good luck. It is also a practice to spat at each other when they  meet and depart.

                  Recently there was a news! '' Spitting is an offence in Mumbai. During July to December 2011, Brihan Mumbai Municipal corporation (BMC)  collected  fine, netting Rs 2.2. crore''. One wonders , if urban population  goes up which  is expected ,  such  revenue  too likely  to  soar  as the Mumbai High Court  observed that spitting is an inherent characteristic of Indians, while hearing  a petition challenging the power given by the BMC to clean up!.

Eat ... but

When you  sit down to eat with an important man,
keep in mind who he is. If you have a big appetite,
restrain yourself. Don't be greedy for the fine food he serves;
he may be trying to trick  you. Proverbs 23: 1
